Head Games

"[A] thriller that reads like a high-speed theme park ride . . . with dark humor so sharp it'll make you bleed." —Brian Freeman, New York Times–bestselling author

Former Orlando detective Michael Garrity doesn't have a good track record when it comes to women. With two ex-wives and a teenage daughter he rarely sees, the most significant relationship in his life right now is with the tumor in his head. Terminal cancer is no joke, but Mike is determined to make the best of it. He's even named the tumor Bob.

With Bob literally on his mind at all times, Mike needs a distraction. And he gets one when the most popular member of a platinum-selling boy band goes missing. Finding his daughter's favorite pop star might just make him her hero—and his reputation desperately needs an upgrade. But his search stirs up blowback from a past case, and the gritty Orlando underworld that Mike thought he had left behind could cut his farewell tour shorter than he ever expected . . .

Praise for Head Games "Carl Hiaasen fans will be thrilled to know there's a new kid on the block. If you liked Basket Case, you'll flip over Thomas B. Cavanagh's sardonically and outrageously funny lead character, who will rope you in on page one and take you on a wild ride." —Charlotte Hughes, New York Times–bestselling author

"A next generation hard-boiled detective novel with a Travis McGee–styled hero whose sidekick is a brain-tumor named Bob." —N. M. Kelby, author of White Truffles in Winter

"Carl Hiaasen and Donald Westlake readers will enjoy Cavanagh's debut, which crackles with cranky commentary on one man's cranial state of affairs." —Booklist
